Ukrainian Museum

Crimean Tatars are an ethnic group considered the indigenous people of Crimea. After suffering centuries of invasion and occupation, in May of 1944, the entire Tatar population--over 180,000 people--was forcibly exiled to Central Asia. Artist Zarema Yaliboylu revisits the lasting impact of this Stalinist crime. Combining contemporary portraits and stories of those who survived the exile, the artist shows the individual impact of large-scale tragedy.

Works from over thirty Ukrainian modern artists are featured in this impactful exhibition. Most of the artwork was recently acquired by the museum and many are on display to the public for the first time. Ukraine’s contribution to the world of Modern Art was significant during the years between the two world wars, but have since often been overlooked. As the rest of the city looks back at the Modern Abstract movement, be sure to include the Ukrainian Museum on your tour.
